Special Folder Monitoring

[faisalbwn]

Dear,

I need to monitor IMAP folder "ALL" for Gmail IMAP. I am passing "ALL" in SetFolder function but it is throwing exception that "Folder not found". Actually i need to monitor Gmail "Inbox" and "Sent" folder because i have to fetch full conversations "Received & Replied".

I haven't fully tested and documented this yet, but is this what you're looking for? (Inbox is the default folder)

async Task ForwardFirstEmailAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    var messageSummaries = await _imapReceiver.ReadMail
        .Skip(0).Take(1).Items(MessageSummaryItems.Envelope)
        .GetMessageSummariesAsync(cancellationToken);
    foreach (var messageSummary in messageSummaries)
    {
        var mimeForward = await messageSummary.GetForwardMessageAsync("<p>FYI.</p>", includeMessageId: true);
        mimeForward.From.Add("from@example.com");
        mimeForward.To.Add("to@example.com");
        await _smtpSender.SendAsync(mimeForward, cancellationToken);
        using var mailFolderClient = _imapReceiver.MailFolderClient;
        var sentFolder = mailFolderClient.SentFolder.Value;
        await mailFolderClient.MoveToAsync(messageSummary.UniqueId, sentFolder, cancellationToken);
    }
}

To fit with the rest of the library, I've shortened that down to one line: await _imapReceiver.MoveToSentAsync(messageSummary, cancellationToken); I may have read too much into your question, but if not please test it in the latest preview and let me know how it goes. I did start working on an ImapReceiverFactory that can GetAllImapReceivers(), but I don't remember if I finished testing it or not so if that's what you wanted please test it and I'll test it properly if it's not working for you.

I am actually monitoring the Inbox with following code:

`public async Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken) { try { // Fetch recent email headers //await _emailService.FetchRecentEmailHeaders(); using var imapReceiver = ImapReceiver .Create("imap.gmail.com", 993, "test@gmail.com", "****");

    var mimeMessages = await imapReceiver.ReadMail.GetMimeMessagesAsync(cancellationToken);
    {
        await imapReceiver.MonitorFolder
                .SetMessageSummaryItems(MessageSummaryItems.UniqueId | MessageSummaryItems.GMailThreadId | MessageSummaryItems.InternalDate)
                .SetIgnoreExistingMailOnConnect(false)
                .OnMessageArrival(OnArrivalAsync)                            
                .IdleAsync(cancellationToken);
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}

}

private async Task OnArrivalAsync(IMessageSummary messageSummary) { Console.WriteLine(messageSummary.GMailThreadId); }`

In the same above manner i want to monitor the "Gmail Sent Items" folder so i can get the sent email also whenever there is new item in sent emails.

[danzuep]

You can use this to get the sent folder, just double check the correct name in your email provider:

using var imapReceiver = ImapReceiver.Create("imap.gmail.com:993")
    .SetCredential("test@gmail.com", "************")
    .SetFolder("Sent Mail");

Do take a look at the MailFolderMonitorFactory methods as well to monitor a list of folders, but be aware that it's designed for dependency injection so read the wiki for more info and let me know how it goes.

Thanks Daniel,

The issue is resolved, for Gmail Sent Items the folder name is "[Gmail]/Sent Mail". Now it is monitoring the sent items folder also. I am closing the issue.

Glad you've found the folder, please give the project a star of you like it! ✨
